okay, but just to be safe, how can we be sure that our phone is fatory unlocked? because my cousin apparently had a factory unlocked iphone 3g and updated it iOS 6.1.3 and it got locked
Your cousins phone was therefore not, in fact, factory unlocked.  An iPhone sold directly by Apple as unlocked will never lock because of an iOS update.
An iPhone unlocked by going through proper procedures and channels with the carrier to whom it was originally locked will never lock again because of an iOS update.
An iPhone hacked to unlock it (which is unlocked by ANY other means then the first two) will lock again whenever iOS is updated.
If I had to guess, I would say 90% of privately sold iPhones sold as "unlocked" are in fact merely hacked to unlock them, and WILL relock when updated.
Some iPhones sold in Europe are also sold as "SIM free" and contract free, but do in fact lock to the carrier of the first SIM inserted in them.  No contract, or "SIM free" does not mean unlocked.

  • What will happen after disabling iCloud and connecting my iPhone to my iMac?

    Now that I disabled iCloud on my iPhone, indeed the data is still available on my iPhone.
    But now I tried to disable iCloud on my iMac, the data is lost.
    Is it safe to connect my iPhone to my iMac and will my data (from my iPhone) be restored on my iMac? Or will I los all data?
    Thanks in advance for your advice!

    The other 2 applications open like normal. All three give me info.
    Pages     ver.4.1          265.8MB
    Numbers ver. 2.1          89.5MB
    Keynote ver. 5.1.1        238.1MB
    They all list Apr 3 as the last time opened. That was when I upgraded to Mavericks. I certainly used pages and numbers since then as I have alot of my work files on this computer?
    Just very odd. I did find my original iWorks disc from when I bought the computer. I'm assuming i can reinstall it. Will try that. Thank you for all your help. Would still like to know what did happen?

  • Ios 5 - what will happen when i update my iPhone? Will i loose my contacts?

    When i hit update in iTune for my iPhone 4 to update to ios 5, its says this...
    Does this mean I will loose all my contacts and calendar? photos?
    thanks

    Just clarifying something. Backups do not backup your apps. When you install iOS5, all of your apps MAY be gone. If they are, go to the App Store>Updates>and then the new Purchased tab. Click on that and redownload anything you want to download. All of that Angry Birds progress will be still intact and you won't be charged again.

  • What will happen if I update my Jailbroken iPod 5th?

    I don't want Jailbreak on my iPod anymore. I want to update it to IOS 7 but will I lose my apps, pictures and music? I don't care about my jailbroken apps, but will I lose my apps I downloaded from appstore??

    Try it and find out.
    Jailbreaking voids the Apple warranty and also means that you will not get any support from Apple, including from this Apple forum. Jailbreaking can't be discussed in this Apple forum.
      Unauthorized modification of iOS has been a major source of instability, disruption of services, and other issues

  • HT1349 what will happen if i delete backup on my iphone for my sons ipod? would any data be lost from his ipod or my iphone? my storage is almost full

    I received notification on my iphone thru icloud that my storage is close to being full, it is because my kids ipods use the same email address!  If i delete the backup for their ipods, will it delete any info from their ipods or my iphone??

    I wouldn't delete the actual backup file, due to unforseen risks.
    Try managing the content better, such as removing songs/apps/videos/photos, etc.

  • What will happen if you activate the unlocked Tmobile iPhone with a Tmobile sim first and then pop in another sim card?

    Will it still work?

    If you bought the T-Mobile as a no-contract model directly from Apple it is supposed to be unlocked and will work.  If you bought it from T-Mobile it is not fully unlocked and you will have to get T-Mobile to unlock it after 40 days.

  • What will happen if i leave the wifi area while downloading ios 7 software? the download is taking too long and i need to go somewhere

    ive been trying to download for hours now and its taking too long, i have places to go but i dont want to leave the wifi area if it will harm my iphone and the ios7 software isn't finished downloading...

    I think you can stop the download without any harm coming to your phone. But if it is actually installing and not just downloading, I would let it finish.

  • What will happen when I lock a view?

    When I lock a view using lock table* statement, what will happen?*
    Is the view get locked?
    Or all the base tables are locked from which view is created?
    Or no lock is applied?
    :D

    Sohil,
    Exact what lock statement you are using.
    If following statement used, then you will able to query (select) both the table and view.
    ??? Oracle table lock never keeps other users from querying a table, and a query never acquires a table lock. So I am not sure what were you trying to say. Anyway, locking a view locks all base tables:
    SQL> create or replace
      2  view emp_dept_vw
      3  as
      4  select ename,dname
      5  from emp e,dept d
      6  where d.deptno = e.deptno;
    View created.
    SQL> select object_name
      2  from user_objects
      3  where object_id in(select id1 from v$lock where sid=(select sid from v$mystat where rownum=1))
      4  /
    no rows selected
    SQL> lock table emp_dept_vw in share update mode;
    Table(s) Locked.
    SQL> select object_name
      2  from user_objects
      3  where object_id in(select id1 from v$lock where sid=(select sid from v$mystat where rownum=1))
      4  /
    OBJECT_NAME
    DEPT
    EMP

    Highly unlikely that it says any such thing.
    Try telling us exactly what version of iTunes is installed and what if any messages appears when trying to update it.
    What Operating System is the computer running?

  • What will happen if i install this printer software update

    RE: HP software update 2.11
    i have an hp printer (of wich i am getting a replacement when i can)
    i used to have a pc and the software was a nightmare it always wanted to update
    and i dont trust or like hp software
    will this update install an hp software program
    i like the mac printer software i use it to scan and print just fine without the hp software
    maybe a wierd question .. i might be a little scard from to much windows exposer haha

    I don't blame you for your concern, but what will happen is probably nothing. No apps are installed, just new or updated drivers.
    If you click the link associated with that update you will see a comprehensive list of all the updated HP drivers. The update probably delivers drivers for newer HP printers, leaving the older ones unaffected. If your existing printer is working you can just ignore the update.
    I'm still using a LaserJet that I bought in 1993; the update didn't change anything.
    If you are in the market for a new printer I recommend researching other manufacturers.
